Fractal Design Define XL

Define XL

The style follows the same understated theme already set by the original Define R2. The Titanium
Gray test sample is otherwise black, but the front door has a gray tint to it. Sure, the looks are a
personal opinion, but for me this clean and stylish style has always been the way to go.

On the side panel there's just a single 120/140 mm fan hole, which as stock is blocked by a piece of
sound insulation. Fractal Design calls these fan holes "ModuVents".The sides of the front bezel are
perforated to allow the front fans to breath.

The roof is just a smooth, solid piece of metal and there are no ventilation holes whatsoever. On
the front of the roof however there are the front panel connections, which feature a nice set of four
USB 2.0-connectors, e-SATA, headphone- and microphone jacks and also the power button and led. USB 3
would have been a nice addition.
